[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor

[Janation]

I think even if let's say this is a title fight, there's still no risk on Manny as no way Conor McGregor can win against the legendary boxer.

That would be unfair if that actually happens.

Am I the only one thinking that this for sure is an exhibition match? Other boxers are grinding their ways for that fight and every boxer would love to pick a fight to try their best grabbing a belt and Connor would easily take a shot at getting it? That is just unfair. Even though I love to see this match, if that is the case, I would be against the fight.

Of course and it will never be a title fight for a boxer who did not even win at least one fight in boxing, obviously this is just an exhibition fight and this is expected to be a fun fight to watch if Conor McGregor will engage by being aggressive.

If the outcome was so certain, then what is the need for the fight? We could just declare Manny as the winner and award him the prize money. It is quite irritating to see some of the posts in this thread. I agree with most of the points, such as McGregor is more used to MMA and he lost his last boxing fight to Mayweather. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have any chance to win this fight.

More on gaining money from fans same deal with how McGregor fought Mayweather, promoters are after with the potential fans who loves seeing MMA fighter another legendary boxers.

There's maybe a good show that we will see in case the fight will proceed, but I also agree that the fight will happen inside the boxing and not the MMA ring so the advantage still with Manny.

Same thought.

Yeah, this will just become an exhibition match because they're on a different field. There's no way McGregor can easily grab a title just because he's good on other sports.
Many good boxers are trying to climb up to try fighting Manny Pacquiao and claim the title in case they win. It will become unfair if they include the titles in this match.

Well.. that's true. One of the reasons why the odds are so biased against Conor McGregor is due to his poor performance three years ago, when he fought against Floyd Mayweather. Back then also, the odds favored Floyd, but Conor's performance was really bad. On the other hand, Manny is in good form, especially after his win against Thurman.

[boltz]

Another marketing match ? Meh, I think I will pass this after what I've saw with McGregor vs Mayweather. This kind of matches are pure entertainment and not serious fights ...do you think that Floyd wanted to hurt McGregord ? If he wanted, would've been K.O in 1st 20 seconds. I'm not saying this match will not gather attention but I don't see it happen tho.

Conor McGregor doesn't have a lot of head movement and low endurance in a fight, his fight with Floyd Mayweather shows where he already struggling to fight after a few rounds.

Having a fight against Manny Pacquiao is an interesting match and for sure would become a big hype in boxing just like Manny vs Floyd and Connor vs Floyd.

Manny Pacquiao is a really strong fighter inside the ring, fast and strong punches is going to hurt Conor McGregor, but Pacquiao is always on the attack and in the early round I think McGregor has a slight chance of winning in that early round because McGregor is really a strong fight on early. Still when it comes to boxing Pacquiao is going to win and in the octagon, McGregor is going to win.

I am always skeptical Conor McGregor boxing again against elite boxers and i have made my opinion in this thread, since you talked about his head movement you need to understand that Conor is a counter striker and Floyd Mayweather is a defensive boxer and that too the best defensive boxer in the history of boxing and you cannot evaluate his skills on that fight.

Manny Pacquiao is a really strong fighter inside the ring, fast and strong punches is going to hurt Conor McGregor, but Pacquiao is always on the attack and in the early round I think McGregor has a slight chance of winning in that early round because McGregor is really a strong fight on early. Still when it comes to boxing Pacquiao is going to win and in the octagon, McGregor is going to win.

If i really want to have an interest in this fight, the positive aspect is Manny Pacquiao is an aggressive striker and Conor McGregor is a skillful counter striker and if he is able to counter that then anything is possible in a fight.

This isn't a boring fight as Manny is not a boring fighter, if you didn't saw a KO on the first fight of Conor McGregor in boxing, probably this time you will see it, so missing it is not a good idea especially if you can watch it live though.

do you think that Floyd wanted to hurt McGregord ?

If he wanted, would've been K.O in 1st 20 seconds. I'm not saying this match will not gather attention but I don't see it happen tho.

Of course he can but Mayweather is not really known as an offensive fighter, more of a defensive fight so his KO rate is lower compared to some aggressive fighters in boxing.

[coin-investor]

Of course and it will never be a title fight for a boxer who did not even win at least one fight in boxing, obviously this is just an exhibition fight and this is expected to be a fun fight to watch if Conor McGregor will engage by being aggressive.

The first boxing match of McGregor against Mayweather shows the weakness of McGregor that he is not a very good boxer he is more of a martial artist,  Pacquiao has been boxing for over 25 years and he is still on top of his game I don't know if McGregor will able to withstand Pacquiao assault, Manny do not like exhibition so he will take this seriously.

Forget about his weakness as even before he fought his first professional fight in boxing against Mayweather, we already know that he is not gonna do any good especially against a boxer who is soon a hall of famer, now challenging pacquiao, this isn't really about his chance to win in the fight, but his chance to make easy money.

Easy money is always been part of Boxing when talking about MMA fighhter and a Boxer,wayback Mayweather is a known Money maker in boxing but now it is a Serious boxer like Pacquiao?story might change.lets see it happen.

Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are both good money maker in boxing, they both have "money" money in their name though it was a wrong spelling on Pacquiao, but seriously,  both Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather made their fortune in gambling, so that explains it.

story might change.lets see it happen.

I like to know how it would change, so let this fight be realized.

So there bout is considered to be an exhibition match where they will have a higher weight limit considering these factors I think these bout won't be recorded in their professional stats as for exhibition matches these is all about the fame and money for them and showing who is better in the ring. For the fighter who will benefit the most with the higher weight limit I think McGregor will have an edge when it comes to him having a heavier weight since Manny Pacquiao is the one having some trouble gaining some weight.

I think this will be considered the same with McGregor's first fight in boxing, and that fight was recorded in the professional fight of Mayweather, so it will be an addition to Manny's win and will be recorded in his professional fights as a boxer.

Indeed! Add the fact that McGregor is also an extreme bad ass that keeps making the fight enjoyable by making dozens of physical humor just to piss the enemy off then win afterwards. Also, McGregor isn't a bad person at all. If he would initiate a fight against anyone, he keeps stabilizing his arrogance as it had been part of his success, yet he prefers to always be serious in all of his fights. I mean, McGregor might seem to be typical warfreak guy, but at least he know how to both entertain and win.

McGregor should focus on his career and not in boxing. Boxing is not his game and he even wants to challenge the best boxer in the world? How he think he could win?

I think he is only after the money. No chance that he can knock down Manny and beat him. However, if he really has the intention to win in this match then he shoul be making physical conditioning as early as possible to catch up with Manny in terms physical abilities.

Do you remember the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight of 2017? McGregor reportedly received $130 million for the fight. That is almost $4 million for every minute of the fight. So what do you think? Are you saying that McGregor should have refused this opportunity, saying that he is not interested in boxing? Boxing and MMA are just professions. In the end, money matters a lot.

Almost know McGregor was after the money but I think he is preparing as well in this fight. He may get those conditioning but I think what he really have to be prepared of is the quickness and agility of PacMan if he can't compete in that category he'll just be biting the dust in this match.

I'd go with the former strategy besides what is there to lose anyway as long as both gives you compensation. Both sports has physicality but I think boxing has its mildness compared to MMA league. Even if we know this isn't the game McGregor use to play but if he loves it and wants it, there's nothing we could do at all.
